Gamez-that tiger is adorable! Thanks for the compliment I really appreciate the kind words -I'm almost two years in and I just love this art form.

There are still a lot of things I want to do to tweak this design, but I told myself I had to post it before the challenge was done!


I used the following:
DFX white
snaz sparkle turquoise
snaz sparkle pink
DFX metallic blue
DFX red

sponge
dotter sponge (1" I think?)
#3 round brush

steps:
1. With pale colors, I like to start with a white base. (DFX White)
2. Add a base color over the eye, trailing down the cheek (snaz sparkle turquoise)
3. Add a circle of second color at the inner eye using a sponge or dotter sponge. (snaz sparkle pink)
4. Add "swan neck" C shapes meeting at the top to form a heart. also fan drops for inner tail. Note: I did this by starting at the base of the circle/body of the bird.
5. 2 teardrops, tips meeting form heart-shaped heads. I used contrasting colors (DFX Red and metallic blue)
6-8. Teardrops/Swirls to form body/wings/tail of the bird using same contrasting colors as head.
9-10. Add white or silver dots and hearts for accents including beaks and eyes. (DFX white)
11. finished! ...
12. ... unless you feel the need to embellish further... (optional)
13. Optional design on opposite eye using same color scheme.

I hope this slideshow posts correctly. If not, I may have to try again... all the "fancy" things you can do to it doesn't seem to work well here so I just opted for 'plain'.

pretty amazing and fun entries! well done all !

I used Wolfe white for the outline on the face, with a #2 Loew-Cornell brush, then sponged in Snaz sparkle Pink for the base. I added Snaz sparkle purple & Wolfe metallic purple blended for the "eyeshadow" on the mask.

Using Wolfe White I started making small loops on the inside of the mask for the beginning of the lace. I also added the hearts & tear drops in Wolfe White. On the outside I made the lace with a #2 Loew-Cornell brush & Wolfe white. Finally I added the pearls with DFX Metallic white and shaded the underside of the mask & pearls with a wash of Paradise black. Wolfe metallic red for the lips and
Ta-Da!
